Le rapport qualité prix nous satisfait pleinement
Pros:

Tout était bon et satisfaisant. Il y avait du choix et une qualité très correcte pour ce que nous en attendions . Et l'emplacement très pratique avec l'autoroute .

Cons:

Le support de la pomme de douche est trop haut et non réglable...et le rangement interieur trop restreint. Un siège supplémentaire serait mieux .
